Pain in the right side of the back, physical therapy, treatment: Focus Fizikal✓

The symptoms of pain on the right side of the back can vary from dull, localized tension near the shoulder blade to sharp, shooting pains that intensify with deep breathing or movement. Patients often report feeling a "knot" beneath the right scapula that doesn't subside even after resting. The clinical picture is specific in that the pain may be strictly localized or radiate toward the right shoulder, flank, or lower abdomen.

The most common symptoms accompanying pain on the right side of the back include:

• Dull, constant pain in the muscles next to the spine that worsens after prolonged sitting.
• Sharp, stabbing pain beneath the right rib cage that spreads to the scapula during torso rotation.
• A feeling of stiffness in the right side of the lower back makes lateral bending of the body difficult.
• Localized tenderness on pressure in the soft tissues of the right side of the back (trigger points).
• Pain radiating from the lower right back toward the hip or groin may indicate a problem with the kidney or nerves.

These signs are clear indicators that the musculoskeletal system or internal organs on the right side are under strain, requiring professional evaluation. Timely recognition of these symptoms allows the physiotherapist to apply manual therapy techniques and relieve the most affected areas.

• Disc herniation
• Sciatica
• Muscle spasms
• Spondylolisthesis 

Treatment for pain on the right side of the back at Fizikalna Terapija Focus is based on eliminating muscular asymmetry and reducing inflammation through the use of modern physical and manual methods. The therapeutic protocol combines advanced technology for deep tissue relaxation with techniques aimed at correcting posture. Successful rehabilitation involves the elimination of pain and strengthening the muscles that maintain the spine in a neutral position.

The modern rehabilitation approach includes the following phases:

• Detailed postural analysis and muscle palpation to identify painful knots and scapular asymmetry.
• Application of physical procedures such as TECAR therapy, high-power laser, and magnetotherapy for the quick elimination of spasms and pain.
• Manual therapy, rib and spine mobilization to restore normal mobility in the affected segments.
• Kinesiotherapy focuses on strengthening the left side of the body (for balance) and stretching the overstrained right side.
• Education on proper ergonomic posture during work and the use of kinesiology tape to support the back muscles.

Continuous implementation of the recommended exercise program is crucial for maintaining the achieved results and preventing the recurrence of unilateral pain. This comprehensive treatment restores the body's natural symmetry and allows for the performance of daily activities without discomfort.
